Taxation without Representation

The fact that they were not allowed rep
resentatlon in the parliament which levied
taxes upon them was one Of the reasons
given by the inhabitants of the thirteen
colonies, which afterward formed the United
States, for rebelling against the authority
Of Great Britain.
1t is q singular condition Of affairs that
the people Of the capital city of a nation,
one OF whose articles Of faith is ''no taxa
tion without representation" aud another
the right OF suffrage, should be the only
people OF that nation who have neither suf-
frage nor representation in the body that
governs and taxes them.
There is really no good reason for this
outrageous anomaly. The alleged one that
the voters IN the District were unworthy the
privilege of governing themselves is no
truer Of this community than It is of any
other, and the men who made this the cX
cuse to deprive the people of the District Of
all the rights Of citizenship knew that the
reason was false one.
But, leaving out all other, questions Of
governmental policy and peoples rights,
no one will deny that representation and
taxation go together. The constitution
recognizes this principle and applies it
everywhere, while Congress denies 1t only
to the people of the District, the owners OF
onc-half the property and all the residents
being taxed without representation by the
owners OF the other half OF the property
who are non-residents.
Thepeople of the United States, as body,
"A 5tata
ments on it equal in value to one.half the
whole valuation Of the District, and their
three hundred and twenty-five representa-
tives in Congress levy the taxes upon that
and upon the owners and occuplers of the
other half, who have no voice IN the matter
whatever.
This Is a direct denial Of justice, an in
fringement upon the inallenable rights OF
the people, an outrage upon our republi-
can ideas of government, and should be
remedied at the very earliest moment.
Every man in the District should sign a
petition before the fiftieth Congress con-
yenes asking the President to recommend
Congress 10 give the people Of the District
the right to elect representative to Con
SltEri NHO ohouiu w SA oiiiSiO - mVlAipSi
of the committee having charge of the
interests OF the District.
With representative on the floor Of the
House, Congress would be properly in
formed as to what action a majority OF the
people desired upon all questions affecting
them, and the dire confusion would be aont
away with that is now produced In the
minds of congressman by conflicting dele
cations of citizens, each pulling against the
other, because the elected representative
would voice the wishes of the people as nc
delegation aud no appointed official hat
the right TO do.
Every newspaper in the District should
unite In an effort to secure representation
In Congress. There is no reason why w
should not have it, aud II all are united ani
earnest IN seeking 1t the District OF Colum
Tia will send representative to the fifty
| first Congress.

NEW BILLIARD TRICK.
The optical Deiusion which Will Catch
m Sailor Every Time.

1.-THE newest trick on the road, REMARKED
drummer, "ls a pretty sleek one, and !
know boys who have made all their cigars
and drinks on IL for several weeks. You go
into the billiard room OF the hotel, pick up
q cue, and begin practicing. You try some
fancy shots. OF course, lot OF fellows
will gather around to look on and make
remarks, aud catch and spot the balls
for you, and show you what
they can do with the stick. In thls
way you soon get on easy terms with q
number of young fellows. Then you In
quire II any OF them has ever noticed the
peculiar optical delusion there is about
billiard table, and proceed to illustrate by
placing two balls within few inches OF
each other near the lower cushion. Now
FIX your eyes on those two balls,' you say
to one of the bystanders: walk completely
around the table, all the time with your
gaze dxed upon the balls, and as soon as
you have completed the circuit OF the table
pick up cue and try to shoot
this bali so as to hit those two.
The shot is such an easy one, and the
whole matter looks so simple that the
bystander ia quite ready to declare his
ability to walk around the table dozen
times, II necessary, and make the carrom
afterward. He Is also ready to wager the
cigars that your optical deluslon' won't
| delude him. While he is walking about
| the table with his eyes fixed on the two
| balls you, unobserved by him, wet the tip
| OF a cue so that all OF the chalk is washed
| of, AMI hand this cue to the bettor as he
comes up. lie blazes away, makes mlsscue,

Proverbs Relating to Clouds.

There can be no doubt that those who
observe the clouds can make pretty shrewd
guesses as to the weather for the next
twenty-four hours. Proverbs relating to
clouds are very numerous, and we give
few Of those which are applicable at this
time Of the year:
Anvil.sbaped clouds are very likely to be
followed by gale Of wind.
II the sky becomes darker, without much
rain and divides into two layers Of clouds,
expect sudden gusts Of wind.
Brassy. colored clouds in the west at sunset
indicate wind.
II you see clouds going cross wind, there
is a storm In the air.
When on clear days isolated clouds drive
over the zenith from the rain.wind side,
storm and rain follow within twenty-four
hours.
II the clouds be OF different heights, the
sky being grayish or dirty blue, with hardly
any wind stirring, the wind, however,
changing from west to south, expect storm.
Black clouds in the north in winter indi-
cate approaching snow.
IL on fair day In winter white bank OF
clouds arise In the south, expect snow.
Small black clouds drifting from the
southwest is sign OF rain.
II in winter the clouds appear fleecy, with
very blue sky, expect cold rain or snow.
If clouds be dark
Twill rain, do You bark?
If clouds be bright,
Twill clear tonight.
II layer OF the thin clouds drive up from
the northwest, and under other clouds NOV
ing more to the south, expect fine weather.
Clouds in the east, obscuring the sun, in.
dicate fair weather.
Ifthe sky beyond the clouds is blue,
Be glad there Is picnic for you.
II clouds at the same height drive up
with the wind and gradually become thin
ner and descend, expect fine weather.
Enough blue sky In the northwest to
make Scotchman jacket, is sign Of ap-
preaching clear weather.
When the clouds hang on the mountain
side after rain, and the sun shines on top
of the mountains, the storm is over.

An Enjoyable Entertainment.


The entertainment last evening entitled
'The SunHower Chorus and Exhibition OF
Living Pictures," at the Church of Our
Father, Thirteenth and l. streets, attracted
large audience. 1t was under the taste
full and competent management of Mrs. e.
X. True. The first presentation discovered
"Betty, the milkmaid," a pretty young
lsdy In rural costume, with her pitcher.
She stood in graceful attitude, clearly
shown by a concentrated light, which varied
its tints, the general edidce being in dark
ness. Other exhibitions were similarly
arranged. Beside the "picturen mentioned,
chief pleasure was expressed by applause
for "Blessed are they that mourn, " "rhe

revelation of felicity, the curtain almost
Immediately rose again, and there,
once more, were the cherubs, but the faces
now belonged to very happy looking col
ored girls. A pretty little miss, not yet
arrived at the teens, delivered a pretty little
speech, and received great praise for 1t and
great bouquet. Sweetly young lady
sang q solo, and was Obliged and obliging
to sing again. The "Suntlower Chorus"
represented a grove of that plant, tall
stalks, broad leaves and all, bearing four
teen flowers, the center Of each flower being
occupied by a beautiful female head. And
the heads began the ''chorus,n and managed
1t deliciously, with piano accompaniment.

ment's letter Of the 10th instant, which d.
rected the suspension Of work under the

Tho Easter Island Imara.

There is now on the way to this country
a roughly-hewn prehistoric stone image
from Easter Island, about eight feet high,
four feet wide, and three feet thick. The
image was secured for the Smithsonian In.
stltution by Lieut.. Stone, while attached to
the United States steamer Mohican. A head
Of another image was also secured. Lieut.
Stone says the images are scattered all over
Faster Island, but that many OF them have
been thrown from their pedestals aud
broken. II was customary FOR the natives
to erect them over grave mounds. They
would bury their dead In cells inclosod by
stone walls on three sides, and with au In.
clined mound of earth at the rear. The
cells would be covered over and the whole
surmounted by platform Of flagstones, on
which the images would be placed, with
their faces to the sea. The images were
made by hewing the stone In the sides Of
craters into the forms desired. The image
would then be cut out OF the crater aud
moved to the cemetery. From three to a
dozen images were found on different
mounds. The largest image discovered
was seventy feet long, and had never been
removed, still lying In its bed In the side OF
the crater. The image secured for the
museum was found two miles from shore,
and IL took eighty men two days TO bring
II to the shore on rollers. The natives intui-
lively bury their dead In close proximity to
these statuce, although they are totally ig-
norant Of their significance.
